How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 kernel-default-devel to version 5.14.21-150500.55.127.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-devel package and not the kernel-default-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

clk: imx: clk-imx8mp: improve error handling in imx8mp_clocks_probe()

Replace of_iomap() and kzalloc() with devm_of_iomap() and devm_kzalloc() which can automatically release the related memory when the device or driver is removed or unloaded to avoid potential memory leak.

In this case, iounmap(anatop_base) in line 427,433 are removed as manual release is not required.

Besides, referring to clk-imx8mq.c, check the return code of of_clk_add_hw_provider, if it returns negtive, print error info and unregister hws, which makes the program more robust.
